The Transfer Tavern

Fourth time lucky for Tottenham in long-term transfer raid?

Tottenham Hotspur fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are looking rather interested in the latest claim coming from the Sunday Mirror as they seem to think that the Lilywhites are eyeing another move for Morgan Schneiderlin.

As one of our punters notes over a beer and a burger, the North London club were heavily linked with the Frenchman during the summer and we know just how annoyed the player himself was when a move failed to materialise .

This was whilst the majority of his key Southampton team-mates were sold and moved on to bigger and better things.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino knows the player well from his time on the south coast and it seems that a reunion is what both player and coach want – and Spurs, who had a relatively quiet summer transfer window – will return to splash the cash in the winter and get their man.

It would be the fourth time they made a move for the midfielder but as our regulars note, it is better to wait and land the player you really want than panic buy and splurge on a mistake.

Spurs fans. Is Schneiderlin the one you want this January? Have you heard more than enough of these rumours? Let us know your thoughts below.
